It is to some extent, hence my earlier point about making Whitechapel in front of Met Quarter back into a road and turning the bottom half of Stanley St into something similar to Sir Thomas St so that Wirral and North Liverpool services can run from these two streets instead of Queen Sq. A restructuring of Sir Thomas St and opening Stanley St to buses with a stop or two in front of Met Quarter on Whitechapel would create layover spaces for 4 buses; 2 at the Victoria St end of Stanley St alongside Metquarter, and two in the same position on Sir Thomas St, while creating upto 6 additional bus stops. If the Stanley St -> Whitechapel road was made into Buses only (ie: no taxis) for the main part of the day (0700-1900) then that would speed up buses for Wirral and North Liverpool as well as freeing up half of Queen Square.

This, coupled with smart traffic lights around the city centre, would make traffic flow a lot better for both buses and cars.
